The player automatically acquires a mech by completing the Test Drive quest. They can be equipped to the mech by using the Mech Assembly Station on your space stationor in Dr. Different parts can be obtained by learning their corresponding blueprints, usually found in non-planet locations in space. Mechs are composed of 6 customizable parts, each of which can change different characteristics of the mech. Akaggy will introduce the player to Mechs, and unlock their first, racial-themed vehicle after they complete the quest Test Drive. They were present as techs in the beta, and then were re-implemented as vehicles useable in both space and on ground, in update 1.
